How can I set Toolbar in Finder Window as default ?

If I click new folder window (N) sometimes I get it with the toolbar and sometimes not. Is there anyway to set this as a default ? I can't find it in view/customize toolbar and I can't think where else it could be.
In Leopard (clean install) I also find that my side toolbar doesn't always respond the way it should. My side toolbar has a couple of sub folders and main folders that I use really regularly. I prefer list view. Again, sometimes, if I have clicked on a subfolder and then want to use the side toolbar to navigate up to the parent folder (easier, I find, if you are in list view, than other approaches), then the system refuses to respond.
Does anyone else have the same problems ?
Thanks

I was running into what may have been a similar problem with the toolbar not showing up on some of my Finder windows. Trashing /Volumes/Macintosh HD/.DS_Store solved it for me (you'll obviously need to change "Macintosh HD" if you've renamed your boot volume). Your mileage may vary..

  • How can I sort two open Finder windows differently?

    I have two Finder windows open. I want to sort one by date and one by name. Whenever I try changing one window, Finder changes the other window too. What am I doing wrong?

    terry,
    Now not optimal but you can open the folder you want to organize by say size, and name or Whatever, in to windows. Organize one by name for my example, and in the other start a spotlight search with a space (Hit the spacebar once). Change the search criteria from Macintosh HD and select the folder you were in, if the spotlight search isn't in list view change it to list view. And now you can organize the to windows independent to each other.
    But as this is still not the most optimal solution I would send Apple your feedback by going to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Also I've never used it but you could look into MuCommander it might do what you would like. http://www.mucommander.com/

  • Can I set Firefox as my windows 7 default mail client?

    I've already set Firefox's mailto/send etc email program to Gmail, but I want to also set the Windows 7 default mail client to use FireFox (which knows to use gmail). For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach" I get an error: "Either there is no default e-mail client, or the current client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client" What is the equivalent way to run FireFox and set it as the default Windows 7 client? I want my OS default e-mail to open Firefox and then use the e-mail settings already setup in FireFox.
    == For example, when in Windows Photo Viewer I click "email" and then "attach"

    No you cannot because Firefox is not a email client. [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] has a built in email client that you can use

  • How can I set up firefox (latest version) to default to opening things in a new window and not a new tab.

    there is an option in firefox (latest version)(for windows7) to 'open new windows in a tab instead' what I want to do is to 'open new tabs in a window instead' Is this possible and how do I go about it

    Hi,
    There is an option called "browser.link.open_newwindow" which when set to 2 should open links, that would normally open in a new window, in a new window.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.
    I can't think of an add-on that will do this for you.
    You can always right click on the link and choose "Open Link in new Window" :-).

  • How can I set up Boot Camp/Windows with 2 SSDs?

    I've got a late 2011 Macbook Pro running Yosemite. I have boot camp running Windows 7 on my HDD but decided I would like to change some things up. I am going to remove the optical drive and put in a 256 gb SSD in it's place and also upgrade the 500 gb HDD to a 512 gb SSD. I am hoping to have the 512 gb SSD in the primary drive spot running OS X and the 256 gb SSD in the optical bay running Windows 7. I'm hoping to just be able to copy over the OS X partition on my current HDD to one SSD and the Windows 7 partition to the other SSD. Would this work? Also, if my 256 gb SSD in the optical bay only has Windows 7 loaded on it would my computer be able to boot up Windows 7 without problems or is there more to this than I anticipate?

    Here is the update from my situation. I'm posting it here in hopes of helping people who may be looking to do something similar to what I did. I followed Loner T's instructions and it worked perfectly.
    I was worried about installing Windows 7 on it's own hard drive and running it on mac hardware but everything worked out. After I initially installed Windows 7, I did notice that there were some problems with the screen being zoomed in and it failed to recognize stuff like my wireless hardware so I couldn't connect to any wifi signals. I rebooted into OS X and simply used the Boot Camp Assistant to download the latest Windows support software from Apple and put that on a thumb drive. I booted into Windows where it was still acting funny and ran the support software installer. After a few minutes it rebooted and everything was working exactly like it should and it recognized all the right hardware for wifi and everything!
    For anyone looking at doing what I did with my MBP, please don't waste time trying to boot up Windows from an external drive. I have seen lots of stuff online about people struggling to get Windows to boot up from a USB drive or external optical drive and it makes the situation way more complicated. Just follow Loner T's process above and it will work.

  • I have 2 firefox windows open, each with multiple tabs. How can I set in which Firefox Window new pages will be opened ?

    That is, when I click on a link in a document, email etc.
    thanks,

    You can make a backup copy of the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder to have a backup of your open tabs.

  • How can I set OWA to use Public by default and hide that section from OWA?

    I have an Exchange 2013 deployment that needs a customized OWA page.  I've already run Set-OwaVirtualDirectory "ex1\owa*" -LogonPagePublicPrivateSelectionEnabled $True to show the Public option.  I've also edited the logon.aspx
    file to set the checkbox to be unchecked by default.  My problem is I need to hide that entire line, I don't want users to see that section at all as if I never ran the above command.  When I was testing hiding it with <!-- --> it hid it but
    caused that piece to stop working as it went back to private.  Has anyone been able to accomplish this or can clue me in on how to do this?  Thank you in advance.

  • How can I set Metronome to be OFF by default, besides creating a template file?

    Default setting for the Metronome was always OFF until I upgraded to iLife '11.
    From an archived thread on this topic, I was reminded of the technique of creating a template file to open with instead of "Create a New File", but that's a hassle to remember and find. And you have to remember to "Save as..." as soon as you get started.

    The Metronome is on every time I open any of my previous files, even after I turn it off. The next time I open the file, it's on again.  Impossible to stop that?
    If the answer is "no", then this is a BUG in this version of GarageBand.  Can't Apple developers correct that and issue an update?

  • How can I set New Tab Plus as my default tab?

    When I would open a new tab, New Tab Plus would come up, then I could select from my apps that I had added on there. Tonight we had a quick power outage (under 1 minute) while I was out and when I opened Mozilla (that part came up correctly) and clicked to open a new tab, New Tab Plus should have come up, but didn't. I'm not very computer literate, so I'm not sure how to get New Tab Plus to come up when I open a new tab. I even tried reinstalling but I can't remember how to have it as I had it before.

    I strongly suggest that you buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
    Some of them also have software that, if the UPS is out of juice, it
    will safely shut down the computer.

  • I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac.  How can I set them up?  They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

    I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail.   How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere.  Thanks

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

  • How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

    We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi.  How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share?  I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up.  I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
    Thanks,

    This would really be the "Holy Grail"   right now.  I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application.  In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment.  For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link

    It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
    The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
